~1 YEAR LATER~
Mitchie's P.O.V
The somewhat soothing cling of utensils, merry laughter, and slow music hummed through the ballroom. From across the room draped over the honey colored leather couch was a man, a very attractive man. I caught his eye and flashed my best seductive smile, flashing my teeth and wiggling each finger slowly in a wave.
He quirked a brow beckoning with his index finger for me to approach. I smirked and strutted over in my black, high heels wrapped our my ankles with my matching strapless, black velvet dress with a thin red belt.
My smirk expanded as I caught his eyes following my every movement, every swing of my hips, every step, and every intake of breath, licking his lips. I crouched down beside him, tossing my chocolate waves over my shoulder and purred. "Hello,"
I watched in amusement as he didn't look directly at me, but saw the smile beginning to pull over his lips. I inched closer letting my glossed lips barely touch his earlobe, letting him shiver. "I'm Michelle, but you can call me, Mitchie."
He was fully grinning now, but not enough to move from his casual position and acknowledge me. I bit my lip, knowing he adored when I did that, and smirked as an idea formulated. I stood up slightly before swinging my leg around his hip, straddling him and resting both palms over his chest, fingers playing with his white tie.
"You know," He whispered, voice a bit hoarse in an attempt to be sexy. "I like Mitch better."
My fingertips traveled up his neck, tracing the curves of his strong jaw. "Oh do you? So, do you have a girlfriend?" I flexed a brow this time continuing with my seductive smile.
"Yeah I do, but she's late, just like she was to my birthday party, but hey, we can make out until she gets here." He answered letting his cool breath fan out over my cheeks.
I glared. "I don't think your girlfriend would like that."
He shrugged slithering his hands over their rightful place on my hips, right where I was comfortable. "She was supposed to meet me here 15 minutes ago. Her loss."
I spread my lips into my best remorseful pout, the same as Halloween. "I bet she's sorry." I shifted a little, letting my lips graze over his in a delicate kiss and pulled back before he could respond. I smiled full of bliss seeing playfulness dance in his hazel eyes along with love, passion, and longing. The sight made my heart hammer against my chest.
"Maybe she is, but I think you should kiss me again, quickly before my girlfriend does get here."
I giggled. "Ok we can end that game, your girlfriend is here."
"Where?!?"
I slapped his chest only before one of his hands clasped over mine, caressing my knuckles. He lifted my hand to his lips, softly kissing each finger as I awfully blushed. He then wrapped his arms around my waist, squeezing me close against his chest so I could inhale his sweet smell of aftershave and kiss his neck.
So much had changed in the past year since I had returned to California, but I was glad I did. Especially glad when I looked into the golden, beautiful eyes of Shane Gray. I no longer regret my sister making me get out of the car and face what I had left behind, because with help, everything had been built back up into something better.
I wiggled enough out of Shane's grasp to peek over at the dance floor of Jason's engagement party to his now fiancée Danielle. Spinning completely off rhythm was Nate with his girlfriend Miley, two of my many best friends, finally together. When I asked why whenever they danced together it was so off, Nate simply smiled saying they were dancing to their heartbeats and walked off to kiss Miley, not that I complained.
It only took all summer to get them back together, and since then they were inseparable. As for Shane and I, it was a little hard when I was working on my Junior year of high school while he was busy in college, but we loved each other and we were beyond happy, so no complaints there either.
Laughter bubbled from a table not too far away. I turned my eyes in that direction smiling at the sight of Alex and Justin. They were laughing like kids as always, true best friends. None of us knew the future, maybe they would get back together, but for now Alex was happy as well and independent; she didn't need a guy.
Before I could view anything else, my attention was yanked back to my impatient boyfriend; yes Shane Gray, as he urgently kissed me. Giggling I slipped my fingers into his straightened black locks and kissed him back with all my passion, not hiding a thing because everything was here, we were together, and no longer had our hearts blocked from each other by lies.
Very short, but it pretty much explained where everything was and where everything was going to keep going. You decided whether or not Alex and Justin get back together or stay best friends. ;)
So, thank you so very much for all the reviews I have received over this pass 30 chapters. If I hadn't mentioned it, you guys are seriously amazing, thank you. This story would not have continued without all of your ideas and support.
It was a long journey, but I really hopped you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I have writing it. I love The Heart Never Lies and every one of you readers.
Keep your eyes on the lookout for many more Smitchie stories and of course little one-shots. I will probably have the first chapter of my Smitchie Vampire story up in a few days.
I love you guys, thank you. =D Happy late 4th of July!
